West Iron competes in Blizzard Bowl

HOUGHTON – Houghton High School took first place in the recent Fall 2017 Blizzard Bowl, with Hancock High School and West Iron County High School taking second and third place respectively.

This was the fourth Blizzard Bowl, sponsored by Michigan Tech’s Center for Pre-College Outreach and the Quiz Bowl Club. Participating schools included teams from Houghton High School, L’Anse High School, Dollar Bay High School, West Iron County High School, Hancock Central High School, Calumet High School and Jeffers High School.

Blizzard Bowl is a fast-paced trivia contest with four-player teams facing off against one another in a race to answer in-depth trivia questions. A question could challenge the teams’ knowledge of history, literature, science, math, popular culture or geography.

“I think part of the reason I like hosting high school tournaments is because I like seeing more students involved in quiz bowl and seeing the game grow,” said Casey Bindas, president of Michigan Tech’s Quiz Bowl Club.
